One minute and twenty seconds to eat the bread

Birds can’t have bread it’s bad for them like really bad for their digestive system

Saying bread is bad for birds is like saying meat is bad for mammals. It’s clumping thousands of completely different species into one generalization. Different species have completely different diets and metabolisms.

The birds above are chickens, gallus gallus domesticus, which are omnivores. They naturally eat a huge variety of food; grains, insects, fruits, vegetables, grasses, mice, frogs, and just about anything edible they can get their beaks on. Whole wheat bread is actually a great treat for them, it has a fair amount of nutrients and is plenty digestible. Our birds get all kinds of leftovers, just like most backyard chickens, which makes for healthier birds and better eggs.

Bread IS bad for ducks. Ducks aren’t designed to eat it, they need fresh greens and high protein from worms, tadpoles, or fish. It’s also very unhealthy for most song birds in your garden since they are high energy critters. In small quantities a good treat for pigeons, parrots, or corvids (only whole grain bread, no white bread, it’s too sugary). Obviously it’s bad for any raptor.
